Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-4 A seawater butterfly valve with a movable valve seat includes a valve body 1, a valve seat 2, a disc 3, and an actuator 4. The valve seat 2 is assembled on the inner wall of the valve body 1, and the disc 3 is disposed in the valve seat 2. The actuator 4 is vertically fixed on the top surface of the valve body 1, and the valve stem of the actuator 4 passes through the valve seat 2 and is inserted into the disc 3. The valve seat 2 includes a first valve seat ring 21 and a second valve seat ring 22, which are respectively assembled on both sides of the inner wall of the valve body 1. A moving groove 25 is horizontally opened on the inner circumferential surface of the first valve seat ring 21 and the second valve seat ring 22, and a moving seal is vertically disposed in the moving groove 25. The movable sealing ring 26 is horizontally slidably assembled in the movable groove 25. During use, when the valve seat 2 is installed inside the valve body 1, the first valve seat ring 21 and the second valve seat ring 22 on the valve seat 2 are symmetrically assembled on both sides of the disc 3. The first valve seat ring 21 and the second valve seat ring 22 are limited and slidably assembled on the inner wall of the valve body 1. During use, the fluid flowing in the valve body 1 impacts the valve seat 2, and the pressure in the fluid pushes the movable sealing ring 26 to slide horizontally in the movable groove 25 of the valve seat 2, pushing the movable sealing ring 26 to fit tightly against the gap between the disc 3 and the valve seat 2, thereby ensuring the effectiveness of the seal between the disc 3 and the valve seat 2.

[0027] See Figure 3 and Figure 4Multiple elastic sleeves 211 are evenly and horizontally arranged on the adjacent end faces of the first valve seat ring 21 and the second valve seat ring 22. One end of each elastic sleeve 211 is fixed to the adjacent end faces of the first valve seat ring 21 and the second valve seat ring 22. Multiple assembly slots 221 are evenly and horizontally opened on the adjacent end faces of the second valve seat ring 22 and the first valve seat ring 21. The multiple assembly slots 221 are inserted into the multiple elastic sleeves 211 one by one. During use, when the first valve seat ring 21 and the second valve seat ring 22 are assembled, the first valve seat ring 21 and the second valve seat ring 22 are inserted into the multiple assembly slots 221 one by one through the multiple elastic sleeves 211, which completes the sealing stability of the first valve seat ring 21 and the second valve seat ring 22 in the valve body 1. The valve body 1, which is set separately, is easy to disassemble and replace.

[0028] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 Both the first valve seat ring 21 and the second valve seat ring 22 have assembly grooves 23 on their outer walls, and multiple pressure grooves 231 are evenly and horizontally formed inside the assembly grooves 23. Multiple elastic pressure frames 232 are evenly and horizontally fixed on the inner wall of the valve body 1, and the multiple elastic pressure frames 232 are inserted into the multiple pressure grooves 231 on the first valve seat ring 21 and the second valve seat ring 22 in a one-to-one correspondence. In use, the assembly grooves 23 on the first valve seat ring 21 and the second valve seat ring 22 are limited and slidably inserted into the elastic pressure frames 232 on the inner wall of the valve body 1, thus completing the sealed assembly of the first valve seat ring 21 and the second valve seat ring 22 in the valve body 1.

[0029] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first valve seat ring 21 and the second valve seat ring 22 both have through holes 24 on their upper and lower sides. The through holes 24 inside the first valve seat ring 21 and the second valve seat ring 22 are used to pass through the valve stem connecting disc 3.

[0030] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 Multiple sliding grooves 261 are evenly and horizontally opened on the outer circumference of the movable sealing ring 26. Multiple sliding strips are evenly and horizontally fixed on the inner wall of the movable groove 25. The multiple sliding strips on the movable groove 25 are slidably assembled with the multiple sliding grooves 261 on the movable sealing ring 26. In use, the sliding grooves 261 on the outer circumference of the movable sealing ring 26 are slidably assembled with the sliding strips on the movable groove 25, and move horizontally in the movable groove 25 inside the valve seat 2, which facilitates the fluid to push the sealing ring 26 to slide and translate in the movable groove 25.

[0031] When the valve seat 2 is installed inside the valve body 1 during use, the first valve seat ring 21 and the second valve seat ring 22 on the valve seat 2 are symmetrically assembled on both sides of the disc 3. The first valve seat ring 21 and the second valve seat ring 22 are slidably assembled on the inner wall of the valve body 1. During use, the fluid flowing in the valve body 1 impacts the valve seat 2, and the pressure in the fluid pushes the movable sealing ring 26 to slide horizontally in the movable groove 25 of the valve seat 2, pushing the movable sealing ring 26 to fit tightly against the gap between the disc 3 and the valve seat 2.

[0032] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model; however, the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and its improved concept, should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
